Health Screening (Physical)

[iHulk]

Okay guys I'm laying out the health screening I'm getting on Tues. I haven't had a complete physical in several years and because I've recently upped my AAS usage I figure its probably a good time to get things checked out.

I'd like some feeback see if there are any other tests I should add. I'm not sure if all the right things are being measured here but I can add whatever else is suggested. The costs is no option. As it is this is costing me a small fortune to get this done but its important for peace of mind.

Also the reason for the urgency is since I started the stanz ed to my cycle I've had a difficult time sleeping and my heart has been pounding harder for about a 1.5 weeks. Not beating faster, just can feel it beating harder than normal --almost min by min and its making me a nervous wreck. Anyway here's the plan I'm thinking to buy. Any feedback on what else I should have checked? ANYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF!!

yea, its a plan that this facility offers. Its outside the US. I actually copied that from their brochure word for word. And yes my insurance covers part of it... gets kinda gray there, its all how the doctor words the reasons for the tests. In any case I pay up front.

Anybody got any idea on what else to measure (think I got Serum Lipids covered etc etc.) but what about natural GH tests and Testosterone tests?

Bueller? anyone?

Do they commonly run CEA? If so, good thing.....maybe we can catch some of the bad ones before they are stage 4 (pancreatic for one).
